Lindale High School journalism teacher Mikyela Tedder’s approach to coaching UIL journalism has always been based around creating a team. So it seemed quite natural that when UIL started giving a journalism team award in 2003, Tedder wanted it.
And she got it. Along with five others in the eight years since then, making her the coach with the most team wins in journalism.
His First Love - the Elementary Yearbook

Jeanne Acton, Journalism Director
My 6-year-old son Charlie received his first yearbook last week.
And he won’t let it go.
He struts around the house pointing out friends and faculty to anyone who will stop and listen.
It’s his crowning achievement for kindergarten, and he didn’t even have anything to do with it.
The strange thing is, I have never talked to Charlie about yearbooks. He knows his mommy is some type of educator/teacher, and he knows that I write some. But that’s it. I’ve never told him that hundreds of yearbooks flow through my office each year. I’ve never told him how much I love yearbooks. I have never even told him that I helped a bit with his own yearbook.

At the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement All-Division May Staff Meeting, UIL intern Julianne Coyne received the Rose Martinez Student Excellence Award.
The DDCE gave three students the award for excellent service to the University and division.
For the past two years, Julianne has served as the journalism intern, working with Jeanne Acton, the journalism director and ILPC director.
“As my intern, she has spent the majority of her time writing, designing and editing stories and copy for me,” Acton said. “For everything she does, Julianne uses a critical mind and watchful eyes. She sees potential problems long before they happen.”
